Considering how bizarre Bob and Ray's comedy could be (I'm a huge fan of theirs), I think he'd be totally down for pretty much anything.

Bob and Ray's radio shows (you can find a bunch ar archive.org) still stand up, especially once you get familiar with all of the recurring characters and their tics and quirks. Brilliant parodies and very human satire, I still listen to them all the time. Wally Balloo, RIP.

The Alec Guinness original version of Ladykillers is lightyears better. It's not the Coens' best work, but it's not awful.

But that's the point of the song.

One of my all time favorite albums. Just gut punches of pathos mixed with his devious sense of humor. His 60s/70s albums are almost universally excellent, but he embodies his racist, alcoholic, skeevy characters in Good Old Boys with such humanity it's disconcerting and beautiful and funny and haunting.

Were the contestants told there would be no math?

In my days working at a nice gallery in LA, it wasn't the bigger name artists who were assholes, it was the people around them (agents, dealers, critics, hangers-on, etc). Although one highly lauded conceptual artist whose heyday was in the 70s was a bit of a smug prick…but hey, nobody's perfect.

Lumping Bowie in with KISS is like lumping Talking Heads in with Poison. Sheesh. If you're so into NIN I suggest spending some time learning where some of his biggest influences came from.

You are so brave.

It's the final encore of a mammoth 24 song performance…it's an exhausted but joyful voice (which makes it so great).

I watched the first two Bastard Executioner episodes - the second one merely because I thought it couldn't possibly be as dumb as the pilot…I was wrong.

"Me and Mr Hohner" sounds kind of like a lost Jerry Jeff Walker track (though sadly the harp playing is pretty lousy - but much better on "Distractions").

I look forward to checking this part of his career out! You may consider his earlier work square and unfunky, but his voice was always able to find the groove in the song and slip right into and around it with ease, be it the mellow swing (the cascades into a thunderous wave) of "Beyond The Sea," the bluesy big band…

Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 was funny. Stupid at times? Sure. But I must confess I laughed way more watching that than most H'wood "comedies."

Ugh, I had food poisoning last night, and this is NOT helping.

"So Harrison tell me, were there a lot of mosquitos on that coast?"

You can tell it's not a real Watterson almost immediately - the art is decent, but not up to the level of C & H, especially concerning the mom and dad. Oh, and the signature is "Waterson" (he has 2 Ts in his name).

I wrote a song about a road trip I took a few years ago that had the lines:

But The Jungle Book does have some great songs and great characters - The Bare Necessities and I Wanna Be Like You are brilliant, and Louis Prima as King Louie, Phil Harris as Baloo, George Sanders as Shere Khan, and Sterling Holloway as Kaa (he was also Winnie the Pooh!) are fantastic.

Dillon is in excellent form, Leo is wonderfully weird, and I'll stick around for at least a few episodes. I personally was not a fan of Lost, but the opening was a nice nod. So far it's basically The Prisoner in Twin Peaks. But the wife/kid are terrible, or at least the writing for them is. Case in point - she's…
